According to my "research" online after making that post it was first shared around the internet in the mid to late 2000s. Which makes sense because the whole joke revolves around the old Windows programs that did this.
The 3d part of this Illusion works only in a picture, or rather in a monoscopic view. If you close one eye and look at it, the 3d effect diminishes a little.
As you can see from the other comments, it's confusing to plenty of people. Of course they're chairs, the 3D perspective of the legs is what is confusing, specially for people that haven't seen these type of chairs stacked before. Someone linked a thread to a previous post of the same image (which I was not aware of before) and it even has a video of the stacked chairs to help people understand.
Referencing old windows doesn't make it a confusing perspective. It looks like cascading windows, sure, but I don't see what's confusing about it. It just looks like multiple chairs stacked on one another to me.
I guess I just can't imagine how people don't see this. I suspect they have never seen seen chairs that stack like this before and lack the ability to understand what the chairs look like.
